Most Europeans Want a United Europe — But Think It's Failing

A survey of 5,834 people across six European countries found 73% want the EU's countries to work more closely together, yet 74% say Europe handles its problems poorly and 56% fear for its future. Researcher Pawel Zerka calls this an "imagination gap": people can picture the Europe they want but can't see how to get there. The report comes a week before the EU's top official, von der Leyen, gives her yearly address. Zerka wants "fewer grand promises and more proof of trajectory."
